What I offer
I am offering a developmentally sensitive approach to life story work, based on my understanding of the impact of trauma on child development. Experienced trauma during childhood has destructive effects on the development of the brain and all emotional,physiological, cognitive and behavioural functions. Considering how stressful and new situations can trigger fear responses in traumatised children, we have to begin with building a relationship to grow trust and a sense of safety before we can begin the actual life story work.
